Hope, not optimism

Hope
or Optimism

Hope is not merely the optimistic view that
somehow everything will turn out all right in the end if everyone just does as
we do. Hope is the more rugged, the more muscular view that even if things
don’t turn out all right and aren’t all right, we endure through and beyond the
times that disappoint or threaten to destroy us.
